They don't log anything for long-gun ammo sales, even when it's a pistol-caliber cartridge, because the clerks are poorly-trained and, I think, more interested in not creating problems for themselves than obeying their corporate masters.

We have a Dicks about 60 miles away we went to a few times in the past, it appears we have made our last visit there!
Some of the clerks in the rather decent/large gun department were good, many hardly knew the difference between a rifle and shot gun. They had a seriously good selection of ammo available and a coupon system that gave some very good values.
Before Christmas (thanksgiving night after 9PM) my wife and I did some shopping for presents for our boys and a couple other family members and ourselves. Wife bought ammo for 6 different handgun calibers along other items and each time the rather friendly clerk said. Oh this is pistol ammo and my wife would say no its for a carbine. One time we varied it with no its for a rifle just for the heck of it.
Our pistol permits never left our pockets and we walked out with plenty of assorted ammo, I also bought some rifle ammo for my .25-06 as it was very decently priced and my wife had a coupon for it that made it cheaper!.
